Energy Optimization Refrigeration Equipment That Can Help You Save on Energy Costs
April 7, 2018
Whether you’re looking for some simple payback measures or a complete energy transformation, your refrigeration equipment is often the best place to start. Depending on your configuration, certain parts may draw more energy than others, and components can become obsolete, leaving you with rising energy costs over time that can be hard to spot until it’s too late.
Specific energy optimization refrigeration equipment that CoolSys Energy Solutions offers includes:
Electronically commutated motors (ECM’s)
One of the most cost-effective “bolt on” efficiency upgrades available, ECM’s can improve your refrigeration system efficiency by 20-25%. CoolSys Energy Solutions can upgrade your case and coil fans to ECM’s, which is a quick way to reduce the cost incurred by smaller fans that must run 100% of the day. We offer expert installation and product expertise to ensure you’re getting the right part for your system.
Variable frequency drives (VFD’s)
Your refrigeration system is designed for a full load, but most of your loads will be average. Motors and condenser fans that are constantly running at full capacity can be a waste of energy and result in higher than necessary bills. In addition, they’ll constantly be powering on and off, which can cause your equipment to wear out quicker than is typical. A VFD toggles your motor and fan speeds, providing load-matching capacity and eliminating over-capacity running. This can lower your energy consumption and extend your equipment’s lifespan.
Hybrid condensers
Hybrid products provide wet and dry cooling in one unit, lowering your condensing temperatures and optimizing energy and water efficiency. With improved coil surface and variable frequency motors, hybrid condensers can be a great way to decrease operating costs without compromising your product.
Controls and alerts
In addition, we offer a range of controls and alert systems that can spot deficiencies and help you address them quickly and cost effectively. These include:
- Energy management systems controls
- Building automation controls systems
- Visual command center
- Energy alarm notifications
CoolSys Energy Solutions is backed by decades of experience and energy experts who can offer the latest technologies, parts and techniques to help you optimize your energy usage. Energy optimization refrigeration equipment can be a great investment that saves you tons of money over time. For a free energy audit or to learn more, contact us today.
